Hobo Jungle

C		   g		   f	      fm6

There was a chill that night in the hobo jungle

Am	     em7      ebm7   dm7	    g7

Over the train yard lay a smooth coat of frost

C		     g			f		    fm6

And although nobody here really knows where they're goin'

Am  em7	  dm7	     f	 g7	  c

At the very same time    nobody's lost





C		  g/c	      f 		   fm6/ab

Then the fire went out  and the night grew still

Am		   em	 em7 ebm7 dm7			g7

This old man lay frozen     on the cold, cold ground

C		g/c	f			fm6/ab

He was a stray bird   and the road was his callin'

Am	em7	     dm7

Ridin' the rods

G7	       f	 c

Sleepin' under the stars

Am  em7	       dm7  f	     g7      c

Playin' the odds     from a rollin' box car





C	     g/c	 f		      fm6/ab

She attended the fun'ral in the hobo jungle

Am		  em	em7 ebm7 dm7		       g7

Long were they lovers     though never could they wed

C		g/c	   f		      fm6/ab

Drifters and rounders	 and distant friends

Am 	em7	     dm7

Here i lie without anger or regret

F	       g7	c

I'm in no one's debt



D		  a/d

Man goes nowhere

G	      gm6/bb

Ev'rything comes like tomorrow

Bm 		   f#m	    f#m7 fm7 em7	     a7

But she took that last ride	      there by his side

D		 a/d	    g		     gm6/bb

He spent his whole life   pursuing the horizon

Bm  f#m7	    em7

Ridin' the rods

A7	      g 	   d

Sleepin' under the stars

Bm  f#m7        em7   g		a7	d

Playin' the odds	 from a rollin' box car
